Your Personal Training Career

If you’re a fitness enthusiast who wants to share your passion for health, love of fitness and help others in their quest for the body beautiful… a career as a Personal Trainer may just be for you!

As with any career change, it’s important to consider what it will take to get there and make a success of your shiny new fitness career. So we’ve put together a few pointers on how to get started…

Decide if you have what it takes

Personal Trainers require a multitude of skills. Sure, you’ll have a passion for fitness and an understanding of what the role of a Personal Trainer involves. But to cut it, you’ll also need to be analytical, patient, persistent, organised, a strong motivator and, most importantly, a good listener. You don’t have to look like a bodybuilder to become a Personal Trainer, but you should definitely lead a active lifestyle to be a good role model for your clients.

Choose your Personal Trainer Certification

There are a number of certifying organisations, each offering different classes, workshops and exams for getting certified. You’ll want to choose an organisation that is nationally recognised and accredited, like Focus Training. Here’s a little insight into what you can expect from us.

Upskill

The essential requirement to kickstart your career as a Personal Trainer is a Level II Gym Instructor qualification. This qualification will teach you how to plan safe and effective gym-based exercise sessions, use of a range of cardiovascular and resistance machines, free weights and body weight exercises. You will also gain the crucial knowledge you’ll need for health and safety, customer care and performance management. This is the perfect start before undertaking one of our full Personal Trainer Courses.

The next step is your Level 3 Personal Training certificate. You’ll learn how to assess a client’s health and fitness levels using up-to-date techniques and cutting-edge equipment. We’ll educate you on analysis of diet, nutrition, performance and well being, to ensure that your clients are in capable hands. Take a look here at what you’ll learn when you choose one of our Personal Trainer Courses.

Put yourself on the map

Without marketing, even the most experienced Personal Trainers will struggle to generate new clients. Because even the best trainers won’t attract clients if their potential customers don’t know they exist. Take a look at our tips for marketing yourself as a Personal Trainer.

Don’t Stop Evolving

The fitness arena is a tough one to compete in. The most successful personal trainers don’t settle. They keep developing to ensure they stay ahead of the game.

There are a number of ways you can now maximise your chances of having a successful career in the industry. Gather a little inspiration for your next steps here.

You have a fondness for fitness, ambitions to make a change and an attitude that just won’t quit. You have the makings of a future fitness leader.

Whether you want to coach members at your local health club, lead your own studio classes or get the little people moving… a Level 2 Gym Instructor qualification is where it all begins.

Our part-time courses are perfect for those that want to get ahead, without interfering with current work commitments or compromising that crammed social schedule. Or if you want to get qualified as soon as possible take a look at our full-time Gym Instructor Courses.

You can study at home using our online study portal and be supported all the way by our experienced Focus Training tutors. You’ll also be required to attend one of our venues to learn the practical skills you’ll need to put your learning into practice.

As a guide, you could complete these courses in around 8 weeks, but everyone learns at their own pace, your tutor will help and you can go at your own speed.
